Thermopile Sensors and IR Temperature Sensors

Thermopile Infrared (IR) Sensors

Thermopiles are designed to measure temperature from a distance by detecting an object's infrared (IR) energy. The higher the temperature, the more IR energy is emitted. The thermopile sensing element, composed of small thermocouples on a silicon chip, absorb the energy and produce an output signal. A reference sensor is designed into the package as a reference for compensation. Thermopile infrared (IR) non-contact temperature measurement sensors are available with various lens, and filters allowing use in multiple applications, from industrial pyrometers, to climate controls and medical devices. TE Connectivity's (TE) thermopile infrared sensors provide reliable non-contact temperature measurement solutions.
